ready to tackle the week

The snow is melting, the ducks are now swimming instead of skating, the cold that plagued me early last week is gone, and I spent a glorious weekend at my friend Kit's talking and walking and... talking. A lot of really great talking. I feel refreshed and ready to tackle this week head-on.

She and I have talked before about a collaboration between us, and we've put that plan into action. She made me two of her famous Jacabobs out of wool I dyed using natural materials and I'm going to stitch them up.

They look so innocent with their sweet naked pastel faces but their brother could probably tell them his war stories after having been on my workbench. But shh...let's not worry them unnecessarily. It will only pinch a little...

I see these little guys on Flickr, they're so cute, I can't wait to see what you do with them :) I always find that when I'm making my little bears, the more bear-like they look the more guilty I feel for sticking the needle into them - even though I know it's necessary! LOL
